In 2006, Zhu founded WONH Global Industries in China and Advanced Innovative Technologies (A.I.T.) in the U.S. In 2014, he co-founded A.I.T. in Toronto, Canada, and founded the WONH Business School. In 2014, WONG Group Europe (WGE) was established to distribute TrakMotive products in the European market. In 2015, the TrakMotive brand officially started global brand image promotion. In 2018, Zhu launched his business expansion for the China aftermarket.
“Robert’s deep insights and wealth of experience in the China aftermarket are extremely valuable to understanding this constantly shifting business landscape,” said Ben Brucato, senior director of engagement and executive director of the Overseas Automotive Council (OAC). “We are honored to feature his unique perspective at the 2020 AASA Global Summit.”
